Cong tells BJP: Fantasy land is an addictive place

February 05, 2013 13:26

Taking a dig at BJP President Rajnath Singh over his appeal to colleagues not to air opinions regarding the party's prime ministerial nominee, Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari today said such home remedies cannot treat "chronic delusionites".

Tewari made this comment in a early morning post on the social networking site Twitter. "Even Rajnath Singhji's home remedies can't treat the chronic delusionites his esteemed colleagues suffer from. Fantansyland is addictive place," Tewari said.

In a bid to put down partymen airing views on its prime ministerial candidate, the BJP President had yesterday issued a virtual gag order on the issue which was breached by two leaders from Bihar pitching for Narendra Modi.
